    So, I have two male rats, Ratticus Finch and Jay Ratsby. I feed them lab blocks, and for a long time they were perfectly fine food-wise. Recently though I've noticed that Ratsby has been hoarding all of the food and attacks Ratticus if he tries to get into his stash. I would think Ratticus would...

    Hello, my favourite fruit is rambutan, and my rats are always so jealous when they see me eating it. Usually when I eat fresh fruit I give them a little bite, but because I haven’t been able to find any information about whether or not they can have rambutan I haven’t ever given them any. But...
